LONGVIEW — A Longview, Washington, man is in jail Friday on investigation of assault after he allegedly ran over his estranged wife’s boyfriend with his car.
Longview Police Capt. Robert Huhta says 39-year-old Thomas Nolan was driving with his estranged wife Thursday when he spotted the other man. Huhta says Nolan veered off the roadway and drove his car over the victim.
